Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCRIPTION Artenimol is the active metabolite of and all artemisinin-derived antimalarial compounds. The metabolite itself is used in formulations to treat malaria as part of an artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT).
We show one representation of artenimol here. As with other natural products, there are alternative chemical structures due to the complex stereochemistry.

Artenimol is listed in the WHO 20th Essential Medicines List (2017) as an antimalarial for curative treatment in combination with . This is one of the ACT recommended in the WHO Guidelines for the treatment of malaria .

Potential Target/Mechanism Of Action: As the precise mechanism of action of artenimol is not yet known, we do not have a molecular target for this compound.
